Have you ever wanted to add a podcast to your blog but don’t have the first clue about how to go about doing it? Well your in luck. Today I was over at a pretty interesting blog for a Podcast called Marketing over Coffee, which I discovered from Twitter that Chris Brogan tweeted about (just an example how Twitter is very useful).
So I am checking out Marketing over coffee and think, that audio player they are using is pretty slick. I bet some of my readers would be interested in something like that. So I figured I’d go do a little research and see if its actually a plug-in then post about it here on Success For Your Blog.
I’ve recently found that if your looking for WordPress Plug-ins, its better to just go to the source, rather than try and Google it. So I headed over to WordPress.org and search around a bit and sure enough found the exact one I was looking for. The Plug-in, called Audio Player Wordpress plugin is by 1 Pixel Out is very well done. The documentation looks very complete and there is info on customizing and troubleshooting. If you decide to use it I would certainly give the author a couple bucks for an outstanding plug-in.
The coolest thing about that plugin is when you close it, the audio fades out rather than shutting off abruptly…. so smooth.
